✦ Synopsis

selection of patients who did not have in-dwelling catheters or evidence of chronic urinary retention and whose urine was sterile pre-operatively.

In conclusion this study indicates that a policy of selective antibiotic prophylaxis, as currently practised by 80 per cent of British urologists who responded to a recent questionnaire7, is justified. The study confirms the high-risk nature of patients with in-dwelling catheters before surgery and demonstrates the value of single dose antibiotic prophylaxis in this group.
